Nose of plum, blackberry, and earth. On the palate, black fruits dominate, with plum, earth, and black pepper. Finish goes on quite a while, with drying black fruits. Pleasantly surprised by this wine. Drink, or hold up to 10 years.
3/22/7/3/4 + 50 = 89 pts.

Haut-Cadet 1961 St. Emilion. A tribute to Berns' cold cellar. Still alive and delicious.

Enjoyed this offering over the weekend! Was a nice combination with New York steaks off the grill. Flavorful with hints of blackberry, raspberry and some earthy tones added in. Adding to the rotation
